“He Noticed That The Clock Had Moved By 2 Inches.
But Didn’t Notice When His Sister Was Crying.”
Anirudh, 5 years old:
- Saw a speck of dirt on a table instantly
- Pointed out when shoes were arranged incorrectly
- Corrected slight spelling errors in cartoon subtitles
But:
- Didn’t notice when his mother had tears in her eyes
- Didn’t react when his grandfather fell
- Didn’t comfort his friend after a fall
“He noticed the broken pen lid.
But missed the broken heart standing right in front of him.”
🧠 Why Hyperfocus Isn’t Always a gift — Sometimes, It’s a Shield
At Pinnacle® Indore, developmental therapists explain:
“Children on the autism spectrum often hyperfocus on static, predictable objects — because people’s emotions are complex, confusing, and overwhelming.
It’s not cruelty. It’s cognitive survival.”
Signs include:
- Extreme attention to detail in objects or spaces
- Poor response to emotional shifts in others
- Difficulty interpreting sadness, anger, or pride
- Comfort in the structure; anxiety in an emotional conversation
- Seeming “indifferent” when others are hurt or upset
“It’s not that they don’t care.
It’s that they don’t catch the signals others assume are obvious.”
📞 The Moment His parents Realized It Wasn’t Just “Practical Nature”
During a family puja, a candle fell, burning a cloth slightly.
Everyone rushed and panicked — except Anirudh.
He pointed calmly and said:
“The thread is burnt.”
But never looked at the crying child nearby.
That night, they called 9100 181 181.
The counselor said:
“Let’s honor his sharp mind —
but let’s also teach him how to see the invisible world inside people.”
They scheduled a free AbilityScore©® Emotional Screening at Pinnacle® Indore.

He could see everything physical.
He missed everything emotionally.
🤖 How TherapeuticAI©® Taught Him To See Hearts, Not Just Objects
His personalized therapy included:
- Facial Expression Matching Games (Real + Cartoon)
- Emotion Charades with family
- “Feelings Board” after every social event
- Visual-to-verbal transitions (“What face is Amma making? Sad or Happy?”)
- Slow exposure to non-verbal emotional conversations
By week 5:
- Anirudh paused when his cousin cried
- Said “Why sad?” instead of ignoring
- Hugged his father after seeing tears — without being prompted
“He didn’t grow emotions.
He grew awareness of emotions.
And once he saw them,
he responded beautifully.”
💬 What His parents Now Say
“You can't teach empathy through lectures.
You teach it by building a bridge from what they see to what they feel.
And Pinnacle® built that bridge for our son.”
